A Canterberet tale…

So, we’ve put some new patterns up, and come up with some truly awful puns, really ‘Canterberet’ is a terrible pun (and all Wendy’s fault). Here’s a bit more of a close-up look at Canterberet. Originally, Wendy drew this:



She’s good at drawing, isn’t she? Anyway, that drawing became this:



Not bad, eh? We knitted it in the delicious John Arbon Knit By Numbers, and when it comes off the needles it looks like this:



It’s not the most photogenic piece of knitwear ever at this stage, but once given a soak and a proper block over a dinner plate (25.5cm / 10″ is perfect) then it transforms.



Go on, get yourself a stripey top, knit yourself a Canterberet and channel your inner Frenchwoman all ready for Spring. Oooh la la! All details here.
